Default $1 billion BMS Ooops...


Right on, Dave. I want to see just one of these pipe-dream machines get a standard airworthiness cert. with the OK for carrying passengers, just one.


- I know of one being close. Look up Joby.

Just like fusion power (and Trump's healthcare plan), it's only a short few years away, I guess.

- Kamala has a health plan for you Herb.
Unfortunately, You and Me as white males only get to pay for it, but Hey now!
It's a true realization of Marx&Engel's dreams and it covers the entire Central America.

Best,
GK

Their timescale, payload and performance looks very similar to Vertical
Aerospace, https://vertical-aerospace.com/ except that VS are aiming for
a bit less range and speed, probably because they are looking at the UK
market rather than the US with its greater ride distances.

Do any of you know what sort of landing/takeoff patch these eVTOL air
taxis are planning to operate from, i.e. helipads to something more al
fresco such as carparks or schoolyards or are they planning to run door
to door operations, which may be a quite limited by availability of
landing areas in cities outside the US - unless, of course, their target
market is just airfield to airfield traffic.

I ask, because, although I've been dimly aware of efforts to build eVTOL
air taxis for a year or two, I've seen absolutely nothing about where
they expect to land when dropping off & picking up fares.
